Description: FEMALE FIGURE CARVED IN WOOD CALLED (MOAI PAPA). REPRESENTATIVE OF EASTER ISLAND - Female anthropomorphic figure. Female carvings on Easter Island were rare and scarce, this woman is called (moai papa), MOAI PLANA, they show a different look at the human form, with wide, board-shaped bodies. Although moai papa roughly translates as "flat image", the name may have deeper associations, perhaps representing a very wise woman within Rapa Nui society. However, it may also be a reference to Papa, the female personification of the earth, or "mother earth".- This beautifully colored wooden carved figure measures 50 cm, with bone and obsidian eyes. Unlike other moai papa, this one has a beautiful hairstyle, giving it the appearance of a woman who was surely of high rank, she could also have been the wife of a tribal chief..Definitely a collector's figure.......
